This year: Formula 1 = Fantastic one

After so many stodgy Formula 1 championships, this year's F1 promises to be a cliffhanger. Till now, Fernando Alonso seems to be the palpable champion. This guy has got all the requisites for a champion. He does not make any unforced errors, has a superb car, has a lot of patience, diligence & attitude. In my opinion, there is only one thing that differentiates him from Michael Schumacher, which is experience. And this expereince really helps you to learn to accept defeats, a characteristic which was quite evident, when last time in the German Grand Prix, Alonso was second & his facial expression told everything (Reference : http://in.rediff.com/sports/2006/may/12raja.htm ).
Inspite of all the winning qualities, i somehow feel that Schumacher is going to win this year's Championship. I dont know what makes me think that Schumacher will win, but the remaining races are surely a must-watch.
For Schumacher to win, Alonso has to perform badly in at least one of the races, although the chances of that happening are minimal. One more possibility would be Schumacher winning 90% of the remaining races. With 12 more races to go, anything can be possible. The next 4-5 races are going to be vital as they might essentially seal the fate of the championship.
